I know a couple of players who would love to play in that Sine, it was quite a popular server with the Cheers crowd.

On topic: Incam fort tourney ftw!

one last reason to consider doing it for larger teams
even if they are not regular teams or clans but just mixed teams:

it takes time to get used to play
and a large number of players allows for a lot of midlife gaming
people just roving around surviving

with a 3v3
things happen more quickly
you get the zone faster
one mistake by the defender and it is over
so
people might get frustrated if they die and the team loses a little too fast

but given that
i am up for 3v3 :)
hold the line

I am really liking this idea.

I remember players just randomly deciding to compete with others that way at DD II. We would just say "Cockpit view only race" and start. It was so much fun. People don't do that anymore.

I'd be in for a date where everyone just shows up if I could make it at that time.

Ok, but why did I add this signature? I was like 15 and thought I was smart? What a brat.

that's because DD banned the incam. at least it was banned the list time i went there

that's the only cam I use in racing.

I think you misunderstand. The 3v3 I'm talking about is a death-match, with no zones. It's essentially the Lightcycle scene from Tron (settings include: 1.0 rubber, infinite trails, and an infinite boost).

Check out my server Adventures of TRON "Tron Experience" when you get a chance and see if you like it. I used those same settings in the beginning of that one promo video I made.

I'd like to do two separate tournaments; one full-team Fort tourney, and a 3v3 tourney. I'm going to concentrate my energy on the 3v3 for now. If no one picks up the Fort one, I'll organize that one secondly.

aha
tron experience
check it
completely different settings and game
could be fun :)

the good thing about getting incam fortress is that we are drilled already in how it feels to play
so we don't need visual cues so much

wonder if epsy's proxy would be useful to setting up an incam game?

About the tournament though... is anyone willing to set up a wiki page to have signups?

Settings for tournament i guess everyone is going more to fort. But what about the rubber. Incam is pretty fun with only 1 rubber and boost as speed like in sine.wav's server Adventures of Tron.

Im not saying that fort like that wont be fun but more options the better so list your ideas

I'd say more like 3 rubber for fort, and keep at 1 for a regular tron lightcycle kind of scene match.

Naw, Fort settings should stay the same. The only difference should be the camera.

agree with sine
fort stays the same because it is built into your play experience
ie how long to grind centre at launch

play around with the setting for 3v3 for sure

what date are we going for?

I don't know. I've kind of changed my mind about the 3v3. I still want to do it, but maybe the Incam Fortress action should happen first, since it is likely to be bigger and more complicated to organize. I think.

So, we need a date that doesn't interfere with other tournaments:

20 Sep............Wildfort (Wild West)
26 Sep............CTFS (Wild West)
27 Sep............CTF (Wild West) - possibly canceled?
27 Sep............FWC (hosted by Broken Silence)
04 Oct............Ladle 26

And of course, there will be some FPL games going on here and there. Can anyone think of one we are missing?

I think the best bet would be 8 October. But 27 September seems possible too because a) there are currently no sign-ups for FWC (probably because of the lukewarm reception), and b) Destiny has completely had it with the CTF crowd at Wild West.

Anyone prefer 8 Oct or 27 Sep?

Oh yeah, here is a link the the wiki page used previously:
http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php?title=IFC

You'll notice it was kind of like "show up on this date and play." Maybe that's a good strategy for this again? Although, it would be nice to get about 4 good teams to play and have a bracket.

We could just randomize teams before the actual day of the tournament, have everyone who wants to participate put their names down, and then set random teams based on the names?
